@HOpeing

@h0peing yep it's just a blood test that the GP can do! I said we had been having fertility issues and needed to arrange a progesterone check (also known as day 21 blood test) , and yep as @babyghirl says it needs to be around 7dpo

My last one was on 9dpo because 7dpo was a saturday so they told me to have it on the Monday at 9dpo

@Babyghirl that's what I'm thinking! Could be earlier now. Would work out better because my boyfriend works away during the week as well!

@H0peing I used clear blue for a bit but yeah they are expensive!

Good morning all, well AF has disappeared but tbh there wasn't much of it to begin with. I had such awful cramping the week leading up to it and the night before it started I was expecting the worse. I've had the lightest period over 2 days, I'd say medium light flow then day 3 was just slight tinged fluid. Back on it now then!! I have no idea when I'm going to ovulate as I don't know how long my new cycle will be now

Hello everyone, I'm still trying to get a prescription for progesterone. Please can I ask if you take progesterone, I was wondering what dosage of progesterone your doctors recommended? Thanks!

Hey everyone, hope
You are all ok. I'm so fed up, my pregnancy tests are still positive albeit getting fainter. I'm 4 weeks since my 3 month miscarriage. I've no pain, no fever, no bleeding....but I'm so worried there's something left with my test being positive. Is it normal for it to take so long. I just wanna be ovulating and moving on from this instead of this worry.

Conundrum12345 · 06/07/2021 17:34

This was my exact situation.there was retained tissue left in me after 2 rounds of medical management and an erpc. I ended up having to do another round of medical management and a hysterscopy, I also have ecoli in my uterus too.

Get yourself scanned asap

Hi Smile is it ok for me to join this thread?

Firstly sorry we are all here it's SHIT. Secondly congrats to all those who have got their BFP and had healthy pregnancies since Daffodil

Bit of a background story - First pregnancy beginning of the year turned out to be ectopic. Had surgery and lost my right Fallopian tube.

Back to TTC in May. Got my BFP to my surprise. Ended at 6 weeks Sad Bleeding has stopped and test is now a BFN.

So the wait for my period and TTC again is back to square 1. What a rollercoaster this journey is Envy

Anxiousnewbie · 06/07/2021 19:25

Hi all, can I join this thread too? Congrats to all who have had their BFP following MC ♥️ and sending lots of love and positivity to this TTC after their losses.

I had a my first MC with my first pregnancy a couple weeks ago and pg test has now gone negative and spotting has stopped. So I think I'm ready to ttc again.

Bit worried as my periods are very irregular ranging from 41 days to 90+ days, and some months I'm not even ovulating! So TTC has been a little tricky to say the least! Apparently it's not pcos as although I have a lot of cyst,my hormones and thyroid is fine too so god knows what's up with my body!

Love hearing the support and positivity in the group and would love to be a part of it.

Oh gosh, I'm so worried 😟 I hope you are ok, can antibiotics treat it? Did you have no pain, no blood, normal discharge etc?
Conundrum12345 · 06/07/2021 21:45

@lovelylittlesunflower

Yes antibiotics can treat it! My whole situation was going on for 3 months.

I had bleeding for about 2 months after ERPC and excessive discharge and an odour too. Penicillin should clear it up.

I saw an independent consultant privately after which was worth every penny. Would really recommend it

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:19

@Annny27 Thanks! I called my GP today but the Receptionist said that I had to call back tomorrow morning to try to arrange a telephone consultation with a GP. Really hoping that I can have a progesterone test soon. X

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:21

@Annny27 Did they say when you'll get your results?

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:22

Can anyone else share How long it's taken to get their progesterone test result? Xx

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:25

@PeanuttyButter my AF has just ended too so let's hope for the best for our next cycle! Xx

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:37

@lovelylittlesunflower I hope you can get some help soon! Xx

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:40

@KJW00 welcome and yes it is shit! Glad that we can all be here to support each-other and hoping for lots of positive stories from all of us in the near future! Xx

H0peing · 06/07/2021 22:45

@Anxiousnewbie welcome! Have you had any advice from your GP / anyone about anything that will help? Xx

Babyghirl · 07/07/2021 08:40

@Herewegoagain2021
My doc would not give me in on my last pregnancy 4th one she said it had to be giving by a consultant it ended in miscarriage anyway, but now in the hands of the rmc and they said I will get it from my nxt bfp keep pushing but to my knowledge they only hand it out after someone has had 3 miscarriages 💚
@KJW00 @Anxiousnewbie
Sorry you find urself here but glad u found us for support so sorry for what yous have been through it's an awful journey to be on, I have had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp ttc num 1 but we will all get there just taking a wee bit longer 💚

Miscarriage39 · 07/07/2021 10:01

H0peing I hope you managed to get a GP callback sorted for today, and that they agree to the test.

Welcome Anxiousnewbie & KJW00. Sorry you find yourself here, but I hope you’ll find the group helps.

Seems like my optimism was misplaced, and I think my period is making an entrance, 7 days early. I guess this makes up for it being two weeks late last cycle. Really am now panicking that I’m totally peri-menopausal and that’s it for us!

Babyghirl · 07/07/2021 13:14

@miscarriage39
Get doc to run a few blood test to check on things, but hang on in there girl I knw someone whe was 47 thought she was going through the menapose and she was pregnant so still time for us yet 💚

KJW00 · 07/07/2021 13:22

@H0peing yes I am looking forward to all the positive stories Smile

KJW00 · 07/07/2021 13:25

@Babyghirl I'm sorry for you losses. But yes we will get there just got to get over some hurdles beforehand!!

@Miscarriage39 I'm sure it will! Forums, support and talking does me a world of good and tbh I think my OH has had enough of hearing it Halo Its all I seem to talk about atm haha!

PeanuttyButter · 07/07/2021 13:51

I know what you mean @KJW00 I feel like that's all I have to talk about but it's because that's what's constantly buzzing around my head when I'm not at work
